AX5112 servo amplifier

AX5000 single-channel servo drives offer optimum performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. The components required for operation, such as the power supply, EMC filter, and DC bus capacitors, are already integrated. The control loop, with its cascaded structure, supports fast, highly dynamic positioning tasks. EtherCAT, as a high-performance communication system, enables ideal interfacing with PC-based control technology.

AX5000 drives are available in different current ratings, from 1.5 A to 170 A.

The AX-Bridge quick connection system makes it easy and fast to connect multiple AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system. Plug-in supply and connection modules connect the mains supply, the DC bus, and the 24 V DC control voltage. Various motor types and sizes, such as synchronous, linear, torque, asynchronous, and voice coil motors, can be connected to the AX5000 without additional measures. The multi-feedback interface supports all common standards. Sensorless operation for synchronous and asynchronous motors can also be parameterized.

The AX58xx option enables integration of typical safety functions into the drives and meets the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1:2015 (Cat. 4, PL e), EN 61508:2010 (SIL 3), and EN 62061:2005 + A1:2013/A2:2015 (SIL CL3).

The AX5000 was specifically developed for EtherCAT, as the latter’s advantages are optimally leveraged in drive technology. This includes, in particular, a short cycle time—even in networks with many devices—as well as synchrony and simultaneity.
